Heavy industry reportedly accounts for approximately 22% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and for many sectors within it, the pathway to decarbonisation is neither simple nor cheap.

The steel, chemicals, refining and cement industries are all facing mounting pressure to reduce carbon intensity while still remaining competitive, but just how do these sectors decarbonise, and at what cost?

Hydrogen is positioned as a solution to hard-to-abate industries, offering a direct route to reducing process emissions or replacing fossil fuel feedstock. In other applications its role is much more complex, competing with electrification, carbon capture and other clean alternatives.

At the centre of the discussion is industrial competitiveness. At what point does low-carbon steel, or ammonia, or refining output remain commercially viable? How can carbon pricing framework, subsidies, and long-term offtake agreements shape investment decisions? And how can hydrogen reinforce domestic industrial strength while competing with lower-cost and less regulated regions?

Join hosts Thomas Dee and Rob Cockerill for this exclusive H2 View webinar, as we look at where hydrogen genuinely makes sense in heavy industry and the practical conditions where hydrogen can move from concept to core industrial strategy.
